Hear from the people we serve

"Dr. Kernilde is the first doctor who actually made me feel like I had time. He listened, explained everything in plain language, and I left with a clear plan. I've been coming here for years and wouldn't go anywhere else."

— A Patient in Flatbush

"My blood pressure had been all over the place for years. Dr. Kernilde took the time to figure out what was really going on and adjusted my treatment carefully. Six months later, my numbers are finally stable. This doctor genuinely cares."
